Global Westbrook
Seizing the chance of this year’s staycation, Simon Cole, Dominic Rose and Jon Spencer of Transit Collective invite you to ‘Global Westbrook’, an interactive walk that reveals 20 stories connecting Westbrook to the world.
Working with Dominic Rose & Simon Cole as Transit Collective, we were commissioned by the Margate Festival to devise a walk and workshop for the 2021 Festival, Sunken Ecologies. Through exploration, observation and storytelling, we uncovered clues in the environment to hidden histories, charting international connections and global influences.
After the morning walk, participants were invited to a giant making workshop exploring collective histories, the local environment and links with the world at large. Using a mixture of writing, stencilling, collage and simple hand-printing techniques, we created a typographic map that records and celebrates these relationships.
Small hand stitched zine we produced as a record of the workshop. The centre gatefold was a photograph of the window drawing created by the participants.
